QUARANTINE 


GLIMPSES  OF  AMERICA'S  THRESHOLD 


Hundreds  of  thousands — men,  women  and  children — pass  over, 
or  are  detained  at,  the  Doorstep  of  America  every  year. 

In  this  pamphlet  are  illustrated  the  various  precautions  which  the 
Government  takes  to  insure  desirable  material  for  future  citizenship. 

We  believe  that  this  presentation  of  these  details  will  prove  not 
only  interesting  but  novel  to  the  busy  practitioner,  especially  if  he  is 
located  in  the  interior,  and  we  dedicate  it  to  him  with  our  compliments 
and  a  thorough  appreciation  of  the  confidence  which  he  has  shown  in 
our  products.

PREVENTIVE  MEDICINE. 


In  a  line  with  the  general  subject  illustrated  in  these  pages,  The  Maltine 
Company  offered  in  January,  1902,  two  prizes  (one  thousand  dollars  and  five  hun- 
dred dollars)  for  the  best  essays  on  Preventive  Medicine.  In  order  that  there 
might  be  no  violation  of  medical  ethics,  and  no  suspicion  of  mere  commercialism, 
it  was  stipulated  that  Maltine  or  any  of  its  combinations  must  not  be  mentioned 
or  even  indirectly  alluded  to  in  the  essays.  The  prizes  were  awarded  on  October 
18th  by  the  judges,  Dr.  Daniel  Lewis,  of  New  York,  Dr.  C.  A.  L.  Reed  of  Cin- 
cinnati and  Dr.  John  Edwin  Rhodes  of  Chicago,  and  it  is  safe  to  say  that  the 
successful  essays  represent  the  best  thought  and  highest  scientific  achievement  of 
the  present  day  on  Preventive  Medicine. 

These  essays  are  now  being  published  in  a  handsome  pamphlet,  and  will  be 
at  the  service  of  all  physicians  free  of  charge.  Address  The  Maltine  Company, 
8th  Avenue,  J  8th  and  1 9th  Streets,  Borough  of  Brooklyn,  N.  Y.

NEOFERRUM— THE  NEW  IRON. 

After  a  period  of  investigation  and  experimentation  covering  more  than  three 
years,  with  a  view  to  the  production  of  a  salt  of  iron  superior  if  possible  in  its 
oxygen-carrying  function  and  assimibility  to  any  before  the  medical  profession,  we 
have  succeeded  in  evolving  a  Malto-Peptonate  of  Iron,  which  marks  a  distinct 
advance  in  chemistry  and  therapeutics. 

This  new  iron  is  neutral,  organic,  assimilable  and  non-constipating. 

Neoferrum  is  a  liquid  preparation,  containing  besides  the  Malto-Peptonate  of 
Iron,  Manganese,  a  minute  amount  of  absolutely  pure  Arsenious  Acid,  and  25X 
of  Maltine,  which  is  attenuated  with  the  finest  sherry  wine  obtainable. 

It  thus  possesses  the  following  great  advantages  over  other  iron  preparations : 

First — The  Malto-Peptonate  of  Iron  is  the  most  modern  iron  salt.  It  marks 
a  long  step  in  advance  in  chemistry  and  therapeutics.  It  may  almost  be  said  to 
inaugurate  a  new  era  in  irons. 

Second — Neoferrum,  by  virtue  of  the  Maltine  which  it  contains,  has  digestive 
(starch-converting)  power,  which  no  other  iron  preparation  has. 

Third — Neoferrum  has  nutritive  value  which  no  other  iron  preparation  has. 

Fourth — Neoferrum  contains  a  minute  amount  of  absolutely  pure  Arsenious 
Acid,  thus  rendering  it  of  greater  value  in  Chlorosis,  Anaemia  and  allied  types  of 
blood  impoverishment  than  other  iron  preparations. 

A  pamphlet  embracing  a  series  of  clinical  cases  treated  with  Neoferrum  at  the 
West  Side  Dispensary,  New  York,  will  be  sent  to  physicians  on  application.

MALTINE  WITH  CASCARA  SAGRADA. 


Cascara  Sagrada  imparts  tone  to  the  muscular  tissues  of  the  bowels  when 
they  are  in  an  atonic  condition,  whereby  the  peristaltic  action  is  re-established  and 
in  most  cases  permanently  maintained.  On  page  1287  of  the  U.  S.  Dispensatory 
it  is  said,  "Cascara  Sagrada  is  an  excellent  laxative  for  use  in  habitual  constipation, 
.  ...  its  continued  use  seems  to  procure  a  permanent  influence  on  the  intestinal 
tract,  so  that  the  glandular  and  peristaltic  actions  become  of  themselves  sufficiently 
active."  When  it  is  combined  with  * 'Maltine,"  no  griping,  no  nausea,  nor  any 
distressing  reaction  result,  and  the  objectionable  bitterness  of  the  bark,  so  indif- 
ferently masked  by  other  mediums,  is  overcome.  "Maltine  with  Cascara  Sag- 
rada" never  varies  in  strength.  Its  exceptional  reliability  is  due  to  the  fact  that 
the  fresh  bark  is  selected  with  the  greatest  care  and  kept  until  thoroughly  seasoned, 
while  the  extracts  made  from  it  are  always  tested  for  uniformity.  It  is  a  reliable 
vegetable  aperient  and  cholagogue,  of  great  value  in  the  treatment  of  hemorrhoids, 
producing,  with  rare  exceptions,  painless  and  satisfactory  evacuations,  greatly 
improving  the  digestion,  and  by  its  nutritive  and  tonic  properties  conducing  to  a 
better  condition  of  the  whole  system.  It  is  especially  indicated  in  constipation  of 
pregnancy,  and  is  an  ideal  laxative  for  children.

MALTINE  WITH  COD  LIVER  OIL. 


A  Combination  of  Malttne  and  30%  of  the  PUREST  Norwegian  Cod  Liver  Oil. 

It  is  conceded  that  in  Pulmonary  Affections,  Wasting  Diseases,  Strumous  and 
Tubercular  Diathesis,  no  remedy  is  esteemed  as  highly  as  cod  liver  oil.  In  this 
preparation  the  oil  is  rendered  easy  of  administration  and  assimilation,  and  its 
efficiency  is  reinforced  by  the  reconstructive  and  digestive  properties  of  "Maltine." 
The  combination  of  the  oil  with  "Maltine"  is  effected  by  an  ingenious  vacuum 
process  original  with  the  Maltine  Company,  which  admirably  disguises  the  disa- 
greeable odor  and  taste  of  the  oil,  prevents  rancidity  and  assures  stability.  Dr. 
Gull,  of  London,  states  that  "the  disagreeable  taste  of  cod  liver  oil  may  be  disguised 
by  combining  the  oil  with  extract  of  malt  in  vacuo.  This  solution  shows  no  fat 
globules,  but  only  extracts  of  malt  which  are  rich  in  diastase,  will  permit  such 
thorough  incorporation." 

"Maltine  with  Cod  Liver  Oil"  does  not  disturb  digestion  nor  offend  the  pal- 
ate, contains  no  inert  matter  whatever,  and  its  base  is  a  powerful  reconstructive 
of  conceded  value ;  therefore,  its  superiority  over  "emulsions"  which  employ  me- 
diums of  no  therapeutic  value  to  hold  the  oil  in  suspension  and  disguise  its  taste, 
is  too  obvious  to  require  further  comment.
